Maybe, it depends on many factors, like price, availability, side effects, beneficial effects.
I am a huge supporter or transhumanism so for most things i will try some form of pill or medical solution and engineering innthe future as well as a part of trying to fix it before accepting it.
For ADHD, i have tried one med, but it had no effect on ADHD. It only raised heart rate in max+ dosages and it was rather expensive.
I tried concerta, long release one. For others i would have had to get special premission every time and obviously the cost as well.
ADHD and paperwork doesn't really go together well, so i determined that the cost of having ADHD isn't worth the effort and cost of meds.
Maybe in the future I'll try again when government adds some more ADHD meds into the list of supported meds and therapy gets cheaper or more accessible.
